Ludhiana, May 28

The CIA-2 wing of Ludhiana police has nabbed the third hired killer in the couple murder case. The accused has been identified as Sunil Kumar, alias Laddu, of Jamalpur Tikoni Park.

The police had on May 26 arrested Harmeet Singh, son of the victims, along with contract killer Balwinder Singh of Jappan colony. The second hired killer, Vikas, alias Doctor, of Shanti Vihar colony was nabbed yesterday.

The police said stolen gold ornaments and a mobile, which was thrown at secluded place, had also been recovered. On May 25, the three accused, allegedly hired by Harmeet, had strangulated the victims, Bhupinder Singh and Sushpinder Kaur, at their residence. The hired killers had taken Rs 2.5 lakh for the crime.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
